Charcoal not as good

I have only used Kingford original charcoal for many many years and have seen for the last few years this product drastically degrade. Smaller chacoal that burns faster AND smaller bags. Hope this is the last season for the down grade.

I ran out of charcoal and sent my wife to get some, she brought home some generic charcoal. Needless to say I went back to get Kingsford. Never use any other!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

When the storms of April 27th, ravaged Alabama , my Disaster Relief team at my church went into action, we began feeding people hot meals everyday, we used an outrageous amount of Kingsford Charcoal and starter fluid, we would not use any other kind, we still only use and will continue to use Kingsford it is the BEST, thank you so much....

Have always used Kingsford Charcoal

I'm 52 and my family and I have always used Kingsford charcoal for our grilling. We also used the briquettes to soak up dampness from our basement and it was better than all the others we tried. My problem now is the briquettes have shrunk. They used to be plump, hard as rocks, and heavy. Now they are flat, with a crease in the middle which I have no idea why, and are light weights. They don't burn as long or as hot and I have to use twice as much and the price per bag has increased so it makes it more expensive. Will kingsford ever go back to the original original? It was such a good product. I'll still use it because of the flavor and ease of use and it leaves no after taste (the fluid) like others do. Please Kingsford go back to the fat briquettes.

What has happened to my charcoal?

I have been using Kingsford for 30 plus years but I am looking for another brand. The bag size has been reduced as well as the briquette size. And to top it off the briquettes don't burn as long nor as hot! I use to buy 20# bags for a reasonable price but now they only come in 16.6# bags and the product is inferior. Sorry guys but like the "new Coke formula", you've got to return to what got you to the top. I'll return when you do. Thanks for the memories.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great flavor, just doesn't last long, have to change ways of cooking

The only reason for recommending this charcoal is for the flavor, I've always used Kingford products, but I will have to say that the newer smaller briquets are not as good of quality and burn up faster and fall thru the grate. Once started, you had better be ready to throw the meat to it, because you only have a few minutes until, the fires out and only simmering. Change back to old formula and give us back full quantity. Still like Kingsford, just disappointed.

Kingsford charcoal and lighter is the only brand we buy when we grill. The charcoal doesn't take long to heat and always gives your food great flavor. I tell everyone the but kingsford.
